Description
- Port Capacity: The patch panel is equipped with 48 ports, allowing you to terminate and organize up to 48 individual CAT6 UTP Ethernet cables. This high port density is suitable for larger networking setups and data centers.
- CAT6 Compatibility: It conforms to the CAT6 (Category 6) standard, which is designed to support high-speed data transmission and is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. CAT6 cabling ensures reliable and efficient network performance.
- U/UTP Design: The “U/UTP” designation stands for “Unshielded/Unscreened Twisted Pair.” This means that the patch panel is designed for use with unshielded twisted pair Ethernet cables. U/UTP cables are commonly used in environments with low electromagnetic interference (EMI) levels.
- 19-Inch Rack-Mountable: The patch panel is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or enclosure, which is a common standard for data center and network cabinet installations.
- High-Density Design: With 48 ports in a 1U (1 rack unit) form factor, this patch panel offers high-density cable management, making it space-efficient and ideal for installations with limited rack space.
- Color Coding: The ports on the patch panel are often color-coded for easy identification and organization of Ethernet connections.
- T568A/T568B Wiring: The patch panel typically supports both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, allowing flexibility in cable termination to accommodate different network standards or preferences.
- IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) Terminations: The patch panel typically uses IDC terminations, which allow for toolless and secure cable terminations. IDCs provide a reliable connection without the need for soldering or crimping.
- Cable Management: Many patch panels include cable management features such as cable tie-down points, routing guides, and labels to ensure neat and organized cable installations.
- Durable Construction: Patch panels are constructed from high-quality materials to ensure long-term durability and reliable performance in networking environments.
- Application: The Giganet GN-C6-PP-48 Category 6 UTP Patch Panel is suitable for a wide range of networking applications, including data centers, server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and commercial or industrial networking setups.
When installing a patch panel like this one, it’s important to plan and label your cable connections carefully to ensure efficient network management and troubleshooting. Proper cable organization and termination in a structured cabling system contribute to a reliable and efficient network infrastructure.
